What does Bujairami Cuban Nights smell like?
Rum in perfumery is a sweet, dark and slightly fermented note, usually built from accords rather than a single material, and it sets a boozy, warm tone. Cocoa is roasted, bitter-sweet and dry, and dried fruits add a concentrated, raisin-like sweetness. Together the top starts dark and sweet instead of bright.
The heart is tobacco, which in perfume is a sweet, herbal, leathery note with a dry, hay-like edge, not the smoke of a cigarette. Floral notes in this list are not named further, so the page can only say they add a soft, rounded layer. Spices give the middle a warm, slightly peppery bite that keeps the tobacco from sitting flat.
The base is vanilla, woods, leather and amber. Vanilla is the sweetest of the four, and woods give a dry structure beneath it. Leather adds a smoky, animal-like warmth, and amber rounds the base with a resinous, warm body. Read from the top down, the list moves from a sweet, dark opening through tobacco and spice to a warm, woody and leathery close.
